          <h1>          Preface</h1>
          <p class="h1_text">Welcome, thank you very much for downloading this tool. I have put a lot of hours into this project, I hope you like it. This tool is based on an older program that I had used for my clan. Now I have made a totally new version with better updating features and less bugs. I hope you will enjoy it, so let's start!</p>
          <hr align="center" width="90%">
            <h1>Installation</h1>
            <p>Follow the installation steps below carefully. If something is not clear please first check the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pbsviewer/wiki/FAQ" target="_blank">FAQ page</a> to find your answer. If you can not find your answer please go to the <a href="#contact" target="_self">contact</a> section</p>
          <ol>
              <li>Unzip package to a new directory.</li>
            <li>Create a database.</li>
            <li>Upload everything to your ftp webserver.</li>
            <li>CHMOD directory '<strong><em>inc</em></strong>' to <strong>777</strong>.</li>
            <li>CHMOD file '<strong><em>lastUpdate.txt</em></strong>' to <strong>666</strong>.</li>
            <li>CHMOD directory <strong><em>'download'</em></strong> to <strong>777</strong>.</li>
            <li>Please check if you followed all the above mentioned steps correctly. If so then open '<strong><em>install/install.php</em></strong>' in your browser and follow the instructions. If you don't succeed to install succesfully then go to <a href="#contact" target="_self">contact</a> section.</li>
            <li>Delete <em><strong>'install'</strong></em> directory.</li>
            <li>CHMOD directory '<strong><em>inc</em></strong>' back to <strong>755</strong>.</li>
            <li>If you run the script for the first time, you need to update manually. But before you update do the following<a href="#note"> thing first <strong>if needed*</strong>.</a></li>
            <li>Now you can go update manually. Do this after you have played in your gameserver for a while. Just open <strong><em>'index.php'</em></strong> in your browser and click on update. </li>
            </ol>
          <p class="h1_text"><strong><a name="note" id="note">*</a></strong>It is <strong>recommended</strong> to make a back-up of your screens and log files, they are respectively located in <strong>'<em>pb/svss</em>'</strong> and <strong>'<em>pb/svlogs</em>'</strong>  on your ftp gameserver. After back-up it is also <strong>recommended</strong> to delete those screens and log files before updating. Especially if you have  <strong>more than 100</strong> screens. Otherwise it will take you a long time to download all the screens and log files. Those screens and logs need to be removed manually, unless you have enabled the reset feature during install. If you have enabled the reset feature then you should be able to delete those logs and screens automatically by using the reset button on the main page.</p>
          <h1>Updating</h1>
          <p class="h1_text">If you already have installed version 2.2.0.4 of PBSViewer and you want to update to 2.3.0.0, just do the following:</p>
          <ol>
              <li>Upload the files and overwrite everything, also upload the files located in the '<strong><em>install</strong></em>' folder</li>
			  <li>Run <strong><em>'install/update.php</strong></em>'.</li>
			  <li>After updating remove the old '<strong><em>style</strong></em>' and '<strong><em>install</strong></em>' directory.</li>
              <li>Enjoy your new version.</li>
          </ol>
